It was only after she got to read the entire script that she was convinced that Marta was much more than those three words.Ĭalling her character “a diamond” and the screenplay “incredible”, de Armas said, “When they sent the whole script and I read the whole thing I realized ‘oh my gosh I have to do this.” With her keenness to not play roles that don’t have enough meat on them, it is unlikely that de Armas would have appeared in ‘Glass Onion’ if it wasn’t something she thought was worth it. I’m sure whoever did it wasn’t thinking about what that meant but for me, I was just like, ‘Oh no, I’m not doing this!’ What do you mean-caretaker, Latina, pretty?” she said. “I really pay attention to what that little description is. Knives Out - Ana de Armas 'Marta Cabrera' On-set Interview Directed by Rian Johnson and starring Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Daniel Craig, Don. When she was first called for auditioning for Marta, she only received “Latina, caretaker, pretty” as the character description. However, she wouldn’t have agreed to be a part of the film if it didn’t give Marta a proper space and necessary character development.ĭe Armas is so dedicated to not taking any roles that might stereotype her that, at first, she didn’t want to do ‘Knives Out’. After that, she had a star-making role as Marta Cabrera in 2019’s Knives Out. “I hope this is one of those surprises that 2021 will bring for me, a phone call from Rian!” she told Flaunt. Actress Ana de Armas, Ben Affleck's ex, has landed a new gig as the face of Estee Lauder. As for de Armas, she’d hoped to return to Blanc’s world. Otherwise, it wouldn’t do justice to her character. To bring Marta into it would require a very strong plot twist, one that doesn’t feel forced. Despite being in the same universe, the two films are very different from each other. While it would have been great to see de Armas don the role of Marta again, she would not have fit into the setting of the sequel. A new story means new characters, and Johnson said that “all bets are off” with the new cast. It is to be considered as a continuation of the adventures of Craig’s Benoit Blanc, which means that he will have a completely new mystery to tackle, making Blanc follow in the footsteps of detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple. “It’s not really a Knives Out sequel,” the director said. In talking to Variety, Johnson revealed that the new film was going to be very different from the first one. The decision to make the second film without anyone, but Daniel Craig, reprising their roles from the first film was made just when the second film was greenlit. No, Ana De Armas is not returning for Rian Johnson’s ‘ Knives Out’ sequel.
